It's time for the second leg of the journey to Ashmole 782; Bohemia. |
Season 2, Episode 7 of A Discovery of Witches
Description: After departing France, Sept-Tours, and Philippe de Clermont, we feel road-weary -- but the initial reason for this trip was to go to Bohemia and retrieve Edward Kelley and Ashmole 782. The Queen DID give her orders, so off we go.
We are met with a ruler who encompasses all of the deadly sins, Emperor Rudolf II. The machinations involved to soothe his cravings and get what Diana and Matthew need are draining, but our star-crossed lovers seem to believe it's worth it. Is it? Maybe. Probably. Anyway, that's what episode 7 of A Discovery of Witches is about, and our episode 7 review attempts to slog through all of the troublesome trials and tribulations with the Bishop-Clairmonts.
Thanks to Kristen Shuck for sponsoring this episode, and to all, please enjoy...

We enjoyed this visual, vs. the DNA ladder in the books. |
Blood-ragey Matthew needs talking down from the tree. And a tissue for his mouth . . . |
Jean suggests a spin-off with these two. Maybe a buddy movie? |
Note the chain around the Rabbi's neck. Hmm. |
This guy. Ugh. |

* Our episode titles are a loving tribute to the show "Friends" just 'cause we love Friends and - let's face it - it's easier! Here's how one of the show creators explains their reasoning:
Jeff Greenstein: "When Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a lot of time thinking about titles, because they were on-screen at the top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time. We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will ostensibly be talking about around the water-cooler the next day?"
